Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean has said that he is hoping for a repeat of last season when his side travel to West Bromwich Albion this afternoon.

Kean, whose side beat the Baggies at The Hawthorns in the previous campaign, believes that a win could set them up for another repeat of last season when Liverpool once again follow West Brom on the fixture list with a midweek trip to Ewood Park.

"The Hawthorns was a good ground for us last season," he said.

"Straight after that we managed to beat Liverpool as well at home, so it is a nice omen that we've got these two games coming up.

"We can take a lot of positives from the Manchester United game where we ran them close. We know that a good performance is required at West Brom."

Meanwhile, the Lancashire outfit remain in the relegation places on goal difference.
